Wilson to join law partnership with Bainbridge Colby
President Wilson announced he will resume the practice of law after his term, forming a partnership with Bainbridge Colby the retiring secretary of state. The firm will have offices in New York and Washington, with a likely focus on international law and collateral work. Colby has long practiced law in New York since 1892, and extensive international affairs knowledge could benefit the firm after World War I. Admiral Grayson said Wilson may appear before the supreme court occasionally without undue strain.
